Ranking Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake Flavors From Worst To Best
BY EMILY HUNT
8. Cookie Dough
While those with a serious sweet tooth will love the Cookie Dough Lover's Cheesecake with Pecans, its sweet and rich flavor may be too much for most people.
The cheesecake is topped with soft, raw cookie dough and features chewy cookie layers throughout the dessert, giving it almost no textural variety.
7. Cinnamon Swirl
Structural integrity is central to crafting a good cheesecake; unfortunately, the Cheesecake Factory's Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake may begin to droop.
Its flavors also seem unbalanced. The cheesecake has an overwhelming cinnamon flavor in addition to its already sweet taste, which may be off-putting for some.
6. Classic Basque
The Classic Basque Cheesecake features fruit and the dish's unique "burnt" top that adds a caramelized, sweet layer that complements the cheesecake's richness.
However, the Cheesecake Factoy's Basque iteration is bland, and the caramel notes from the "burnt" top layer were hardly indistinguishable from the rest of the cheesecake.
5. Coconut Cream Pie
If you're a coconut lover, the Cheesecake Factoy's Coconut Cream Pie Cheesecake may be for you, thanks to the texture and flavor of the coconut shreds.
The cheesecake also has a thick, fairly hard, and rich chocolate layer toward the bottom of the cake, which may appeal to those who enjoy a chocolate-coconut combination.
4. Lemon Meringue
The Cheesecake Factory's Lemon Meringue Cheesecake is delightfully tart without being overly sweet, and its flavor carries well throughout the dessert.
The cheesecake holds its structure better than others, but its texture almost seems gelatinous, and the crust might be soggy rather than crispy.
